Is the Luger s/n 1600m ? If so, your trigger plate is a mis-match. The digits "17" should be inside the trigger plate. It looks like they are "33". That would only go with a pistol numbered "3200" with some suffix.

So... unfortunately that mis-match makes the entire pistol a "shooter" grade pistol. It also make you really need to look closely at everything else. Only someone trying to make this look like a matching pistol would have done this.

I can't quite tell from the pics either. I see what you are looking at. I will request that he takes a clear pic of that for me and add it in.

I see the 1600 but not the 1600m, can you specify by image number? I see a piece with 33 on it so I assume I'm looking at what you are but I don't know much about these so I can't say.

If that is true that would be sad indeed. I don't know what he paid for it.
